Quantum's Take

The Penguin received a kit rework in early 2026. We still see him as a skip for anyone who builds The Joker up long term, but for non-spenders who need a third or fourth team and have no other choice, the new kit actually has some viability in the early game and for those looking for a solid ship combat team.
